Innovation pays off as enterprise zone fills all units at Milton Park

MORE than 50 jobs have been created at a business park as a direct result of the Science Vale Enterprise Zone.

Ten firms have opened for business at a new, speculative scheme at Milton Park, near Didcot.

Park bosses are delighted with the success of the development which was built after the enterprise zone – which takes in Harwell and Milton Park – was set up.

Under the terms of the enterprise zone, firms receive relief on their business rates while the planning process for development can also be fast-tracked.

Park commercial director Andrew Barlow said: “In little over a year, we are pleased to see all the units are occupied and accommodating customers across a variety of industries from robotics to printing, into the Science Vale area.”
